[Therion] "\legendbox" "\loadpicture" and absolute paths

[Henry Bennett]

Hi Martin,

Using the dev Windows version Therion 5.5.7+67fffb0 (2021-02-22) I'm still
only able to use absolute paths.  Is this a Windows only issue?

I've also tried using the \savepath method (from thbook) below with no
success.

\savepath{mypath1}{../data/picture.png}
\def\maplayout{
\legendbox{100}{80}{NW}{\loadpicture{mypath1}}
}

Thanks for looking at this.

Regards, Henry Bennett
